A small landslide sent a tree into the powerlines in the Hastings Road area of Clinton on Friday morning, knocking out power to dozens of eastside water-view homes.

A concrete retaining wall kept the tree from smashing into a home, whose owner was not present at the time of the slide around 10 a.m. Neighbors cautiously took pictures with their smartphones and South Whidbey Fire/EMS personnel advised them to stay well away from the suspended tree and compromised power lines.

A trio of nearby residents said they didn’t hear the slide, but realized something had occurred when their power cut out.

No injuries were reported.

Puget Sound Energy sent a crew there by 11:40 a.m. to clear the tree and restore power.
